J, b. BARNARD of Cleveland, Ohio, has
just had a consultation with the Central
Vermont managers at st. Adams with ref
erence to an indestructibe safety car-heater
which he has. invented. 1t consists of a
double cylinder, cylinder within cyl
inder, made of the best steel an inch thick,
constructed in a way that only the inner
cylinder is heated, there being an air pas
sage between the two, the heat radiatng
through the outer by means of air-draft at
the base and holes in the outer cylinder.
The opening to receive the coal is placed on
sliding bands grooved into the cylinder Sc
cured by three locks, so that in case of acct
dent there is no possibility of burning Goals
escaping. The draft and ventilation is CON
Quoted through tubes, and in case of acct
dent no fire can escape, and should the
tubes become battered the less is the posi-
bility of fire.
